Alert! Miracle doctor released from prison

"Old Zheng, what are we going to do now? Judging from Chen Huo's words, he probably already knows that we paid someone to assassinate them!" On the other side, Zhou Mancang was filled with anxiety. "He won't dare to act recklessly now at the old immortal's dojo, but after the birthday banquet, he'll settle accounts with us sooner or later!"

"Yeah, what happened to the top overseas assassins? They couldn't even handle a few people, and they charged us an astronomical sum. Old Zheng, what kind of people did you hire!" Zhu Zhide complained and worried at the same time.

"I... this..." Zheng Hongjun was also very puzzled.

He had specifically inquired about the Assassin Brotherhood; they were considered a top-tier team globally.

Logically speaking, even if they couldn't deal with Chen Huo, they could easily handle Jiang Aiwei and the other women.

I never expected to be defeated.

They left no one out and made sure everyone was in the bureau.

He had personally experienced Chen Huo's methods.

If it weren't for the expensive treatment he received, he could barely walk a few steps; otherwise, he would still be in a wheelchair.

I can't imagine what the consequences would be if Chen Huo came knocking on our door again!

"Old Zheng, can't you just say something? What are we going to do?" Zhou Mancang and Zhu Zhide kept urging him.

"Old Zhou, Old Zhu, I discussed this with you all back then, and you all agreed, didn't you? Now that something's happened, you can't blame it all on me!" Zheng Hongjun was annoyed, but after a moment's thought, he immediately said, "Don't be too hasty. I'll tell you the truth: the reason I took action against Chen Huo is because I have the Earth Immortal Society backing me up!"

"If we behave well and please the old immortal, he'll willingly surrender. What trouble will we have to fear then?"

"Furthermore, I've heard that Chen Huo has a grudge against the Earth Immortal and has been trying to cause trouble for him!"

"What?" Zhou Mancang immediately perked up. "He's causing trouble for the old earth immortal? Are you kidding me!"

"I admit he has some tricks up his sleeve, but compared to the old geomancer, he's nothing! And he's still picking fights? Isn't that like looking for trouble in the toilet?" Zhu Zhide said.

"That's why I told you not to panic, the real show is yet to come!" Zheng Hongjun reassured them. "Who knows, the old earth immortal might just slap him away, and then we won't have to worry about anything!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mancang and Zhu Zhide felt much relieved, and their expressions improved.

As guests arrived one after another, the building became noisy.

Various performances emerged one after another.

Outside the martial arts world, each guard revealed their most prized skills.

It included magic tricks, storytelling, and hard qigong, one act after another.

The guests were dazzled by the spectacle and exclaimed in admiration, "As expected of Jiangcheng's top-tier Immortal Gathering, there are masters everywhere!"

"Yeah, with their skills, any one of them could be a big shot!"

"No wonder the Earth Immortals Society is so renowned and has stood the test of time for so many years; it's truly an eye-opener..."

Opinions varied, but everyone felt both awe and fear towards the Earth Immortals Society.

But some people remained unmoved and unperturbed.

For those who are truly accomplished, these performances are nothing more than showing off their skills.

Among the people of the martial arts world, each sect does indeed possess its own lineage and unique skills, but they only use them for serious matters.

Anything put out for a performance is merely a way to show off skills and fool laymen.

boom!

"The old immortal has arrived!"

Just then, a row of fireworks burst into the sky.

With a powerful and resounding announcement, the scene immediately fell silent.

All eyes turned to one place.

Above the blooming fireworks, a figure stepped through the air.

He was dressed in a long robe, with white hair and a youthful face, and was leaning on a cane. He was accompanied by two beautiful young women in ancient costumes.

Enveloped in mist, at first glance, it looks like a celestial being descending to earth, indescribably ethereal and dreamlike.

"It's an old earth immortal!"

"Holy crap, arriving on clouds? Could this really be a deity?"

"You're joking, the old Earth Immortal is known as a terrestrial immortal, do you think that's just a title? To be able to see the old Earth Immortal in person is our greatest honor..."

Amid exclamations of surprise, many people were so emotional that they nearly prostrated themselves in worship.

Murong Bingyun frowned slightly as she looked at the scene before her: "Could he really be a terrestrial immortal?"

Chen Huo scoffed, "If Jiangcheng could produce a terrestrial immortal, it would have caused a sensation throughout the Dragon Kingdom long ago. It's nothing more than showing off in front of others and using the opportunity to gain fame!"

"Oh? What did you figure out?" Murong Bingyun asked.

"The old earth immortal naturally comes from one of the Eight Outer Schools. People in the martial world are never short of tricks to deceive people. He used at least several; fooling ordinary people wouldn't be a problem!"

"However, she does have some skill!"

"I see you always have this dismissive attitude when you comment on anyone, acting like you're the best in the world!" Murong Bingyun pursed her lips slightly. "No wonder Qingran and the others always say your greatest strength is that when you brag, you make it sound so convincing!"

"I'm telling the truth, but you don't believe me!" Chen Huo sighed helplessly.

Murong Bingyun rolled her eyes, too lazy to argue with him.

At this moment, the old immortal landed slowly, and the clouds and mist around him gradually dissipated.

With a warm smile, he clasped his hands in a fist salute to everyone present: "I am deeply grateful to all of you fellow Daoists for your presence at my centennial birthday celebration!"

"Old Immortal, you are too modest. It is our honor to be able to come and celebrate your birthday!"

"Old Immortal, you are a true deity, we are but mortals, we dare not accept your greetings!"

"Indeed, the old immortal is a true terrestrial deity. We have truly seen something new today..."

The crowd was already captivated by the scene and held the old Earth Immortal in awe. They showered him with flattery and then seized the opportunity to present their congratulatory gifts: "The Zheng, Zhou, and Zhu families of Jiangcheng have specially prepared a glazed golden statue of the God of Longevity to congratulate the old Earth Immortal on his 100th birthday. May the old Earth Immortal enjoy boundless blessings and live as long as the heavens!"

"Lu Shaoqing, a junior member of the Lu family of Haicheng, has specially prepared a white jade ruyi to wish the old immortal a long and prosperous life, and to reach even greater heights!"

"Bai Feiyang of the Bai family of Yuncheng Jewelry presents a special imperial jadeite luminous pearl to congratulate the old immortal..."

One group after another rushed forward, eager to offer their gifts.

Each and every one of them is a powerful figure in the business world and a local force, making for a truly impressive scene.

"Have you prepared any gifts?" Murong Bingyun glanced at Chen Huo and asked.

"No!" Chen Huo shrugged. "I'm not here to offer birthday wishes!"

"Then come with me!" Murong Bingyun said.

"What did you send?" Chen Huo asked curiously.

"It's nothing, just a weapon I obtained on the battlefield, not bad at all!" Murong Bingyun took out a brocade box. When it was their turn, she gave a slight bow. "Murong Bingyun of the Murong family of Jiangcheng, and Chen Huo of the Chen family, have come to offer our birthday wishes!"
